    Trade Rafer Alston to Philly for Andre Miller and we have a championship team

    great pic

    Yao really enjoys Bonzi

    he seems to be more a humble guy than a problem child

    I watched it last night, and again today....and clearly the difference was the team did not settle for 3 point shots....when they swung the ball to the far side, the open man generally attacked the basket....and it set up TONS of layups and open looks for our team.

    Luther with 11 assists and only 1 turnover...HOLY cow !!

    JL3 getting some run....FINALLY......and Rafer getting some rest.

    hmm, do you guys think that us Chinese fans should wait for a couple more hours for the game video to be released? It's 11:39 pm here, and last time R2K posted the Warriors game just before I checked Clutchfans for the last time that day. I'm leaning towards staying up until 2:00 am.

    For me the biggest factor last night was when Juwan keep on sinking his shot when we needed it and Head distributing the ball to the open man,even though he did not take so many shots but they both get it done. Are we starting to gel! :D

    Yao has totally thoroughly dominated Tim Duncan, ... after first half, the Spurs' back was broken, and they could not recover ...

    Had a great evening watching!

    That's a great one! For those who do not understand Chinese, it shows the Spurs centers got dominated by Yao one by one. One center got beat, the other was talking to TD asking: brother, you next ... :) That's hilarious!

    Keep Juwan nailed to the bench. He is more aggressive rebounding and defensively in limited minutes, since he isn't worried about fouling out. He also doesn't have to pace himself for 36-40 minutes of playtime.

    Agree, I saw the game and haven't even looked at the box score but my impressions why we won the game were.

    1. Points in the paint. Not settling for the 3 ball and getting layups and dunks were huge.

    2. Turnovers or lack there of were less than in our losses.

    3. It takes five. I can't remember when so many guys contributed. JH Bonzi Shane Luther RA and JL3 all had good games.

    The Rox need to build on this game as an offensive model. JVG probably had something to do with the game plan of attacking the basket because everybody was taking it to the hole, that inside/out game resulting in the Rox shooting a three works if your hitting 'em but this win against the Spurs should make JVG scrap it ASAP.

    dude his 2 3pointers down the stretch were crucial for the win. if he hadn't hit these shots, we would've lost. he also had 9 assists and in the first half, when he saw that his shots weren't falling, he stopped jacking up threes and started taking it to the rim.

    yes. and one of those 3's was friggen HUUUUGE because it was back-to-back right after ginobli did a step back 3. that step back 3 was quite a stab at our momentum, and when rafer hit that 3 off the pick 'n roll (mind you there was just a sliver of a window to launch it)....man that was cold blooded.

    One three put us up by 15, a very good shot to stop Spurs momentum by any means, but far from a cold blooded crunch time shot. The other 3 was when the Spurs already emptied their bench, the game well out of reach.
